Are some people in NA still having a problem logging in? I ran a trace according to blizzard's support website and got this

18 12.129.211.38 reports: Destination net unreachable.

on my last hop. I googled this IP and it seems it is CI - Blizzard Entertainment SID-8916. Is it just that they are still working on it, or am I missing something? Note: I tried all of the above fixes, and none of them worked

Ok, I fixed it. Apparently Windows 7 recognizes it as a new game when the patch has happened, but doesn't bother to ask whether you want to allow it or not. You might have to go to Windows Security and re-allow Starcraft II for home/private and public. Hopefully this helps some other folks.

SC2 Freezes right when that planet view appears or right when the login screen pops up
I turned my router off, opened the game in offline mod
Turned the router back on
Game didnt log in automatically
Pressed Menu>Login

If the solution in the OP works, then the problem is probably with your connection to Battle.net

That method also works for other online games when you want to play online/LAN but can't connect to the server.

yeh its down because of cataclysm's release tonight. I understand they got ridiculous amounts of players but its pretty shocking that with all there money they have to take down all game servers to do one update!

SC2 fetches the news via HTTP that are displayed at the login screen on the left side. Since Blizzard shut off all their sites and replaced them with a generic error page, this is sent as a response, and SC2 seems to choke on it. You can prevent that by using a firewall following the steps in this post: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=7214472

Fix worked once, now I'm back to raging at WoW. Seriously Blizzard, what the hell happened to you?
